Top Sand Cave Island Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn Bowling Green North

10/10 Excellent

"Good. Convenient. Priced well."

The Lodge at Mammoth Cave

8/10 Good

"Being part of the park was good. We enjoyed the paved walking trails and the hiking trails for more experienced people. Also liked that there were some trails designated for wheelchairs. The only draw back was the amount of construction happening during our trip. Advanced notice of it would have been appreciated, as some of the trails and roads were closed. The construction of new cabins will be a good addition as lodging sells out quickly, but the negative with those is that they look more modern and gives the appearance that the lodge rooms and historic cottages look overly run down. We stayed in one of the lodge rooms which was sufficient for us, we had a very hard time getting used to the mattresses in the room, they were very uncomfortable. Loved being off the grid for most of our trip."

Days Inn by Wyndham Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"N/a"

Days Inn by Wyndham Cave City

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel"

SureStay Hotel by Best Western Bowling Green North

8/10 Good

"This place was excellent for the price. It has smaller rooms, less on the BKFST menu, but a fair price for the services rendered. the room was clean, the desk responsive to questions and needs. We stayed in BGKY on a very busy weekend, so chose a place at the north end of town, and were very pleased. Quiet, with easy access yto interstate and town. Next year I will come here again for this busy weekend."

Sleep Inn & Suites Cave City

8/10 Good

"Breakfast choices not good…"

Baymont by Wyndham Cave City

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our overnight stay. The property is well maintained and a great location for visiting Mammoth Cave."

Hampton Inn Cave City, KY

8/10 Good

"Staff was super nice and helpful , the room was nice, but the restroom had a sour smell, not good."

Grand Victorian Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My only complaint was the lack of early morning coffee! The Inn was old and quaint, but could have had a little more attention to detail with the cleanliness. It’s hard to keep a room full of antiques dust-free. But we expected a historic place to be a little rough around the edges. It wasn’t a big issue. I enjoyed walking around the property and relaxing on the porch. Great location for Mammoth National Park. Owners were kind and beds were cozy."
